Convolutional Neural Networks Demystified: A Matched Filtering Perspective Based Tutorial
Stankovic, Ljubisa, Mandic, Danilo
Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are a de-facto standard for the analysis of large volumes of signals and images. Yet, their development and underlying principles have been largely performed in an ad-hoc and black box fashion. To help demystify CNNs, we revisit their operation from first principles and a matched filtering perspective. We establish that the convolution operation within CNNs, their very backbone, represents a matched filter which examines the input signal/image for the presence of pre-defined features. This perspective is shown to be physically meaningful, and serves as a basis for a step-by-step tutorial on the operation of CNNs, including pooling, zero padding, various ways of dimensionality reduction. Starting from first principles, both the feed-forward pass and the learning stage (via back-propagation) are illuminated in detail, both through a worked-out numerical example and the corresponding visualizations. It is our hope that this tutorial will help shed new light and physical intuition into the understanding and further development of deep neural networks.
Deploying Prefect Server with AWS ECS and Docker Storage
This article is a step by step guide of how I deployed a Prefect Server with a Fargate ECS Cluster using Docker Storage on a private registry. A few articles covered deployment with Prefect Cloud and different combinations of runners and storage. As I ran through a few issues when deploying this specific architecture, I decided to detail the steps in this article. You can choose to use different Agents and Storage options, this article is only a base guideline to the many options of Prefect. Although I will not detail Prefect and AWS concepts, you will find references to relevant documentation to help you.
Skills training in a post-AI work environment
Nine in 10 UK employees will have to reskill by 2030, according to a report based on analysis by McKinsey, but where should companies start? Whether you call it artificial intelligence, machine learning or automation, new media articles appear on the subject daily to spread fear about workers losing jobs as'robots take over'. There's no doubt that the world of work is changing fast, but what it really indicates is our need to adapt to yet another industrial revolution -- the fourth one. In a hyper-technical world, having a high EQ will be more important than ever. This being the case, we've got no time to waste when it comes to upskilling workers.
Best Python Courses
Python is one of the most popular programming languages. It is mostly preferred by data scientists, machine learning engineers, and web developers. Learning the basics of Python properly is very important because once you have learned the basics, you can learn Python for any profession. So, if you are looking for the best courses to learn Python, this article is for you. In this article, I'm going to introduce you to some of the best Python courses that will help you learn Python.
AI Ethics
This past year has seen a significant blossoming of discussions on the ethics of AI. In working groups and meetings spanning IEEE, ACM, U.N. and the World Economic Forum as well as a handful of governmental advisory committees, more intimate breakout sessions afford an opportunity to observe how we, as robotics and AI researchers, communicate our own relationship to ethics within a field teeming with possibilities of both benefit and harm. Unfortunately, many of these opportunities fail to realize authentic forward progress during discussions that repeat similar memes. Three common myths pervade such discussions, frequently stifling any synthesis: education is not needed; external regulation is undesirable; and technological optimism provides justifiable hope. The underlying good news is that discourse and curricular experimentation are now occurring at scales that were unmatched in the recent past.

Could 2021 be the year for technology? Here are some trends to watch out for
The icing on the cake is that the action takes place in the PUBG universe. Some of the most exciting inventions in TV will be in 2021. LG has hinted at ditching the E-Series OLED and bringing in Gallery Series. On the other hand, Samsung might unveil a rotating Sero TV. This year will be bigger and mightier with TV screens measuring above 75-inch becoming mainstream.
PhD position in Computer-aided Analysis of Radio Astronomy Data
How do we deal with very large data sets of high resolution images, in particular in the field of radio astronomy? This question encompasses the scope of a joint PhD project between the University of Groningen (The Netherlands), the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa), and ASTRON, which is the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy. Modern radio telescopes typically consist of 100 to a few hundred receiving elements, whose signals are pairwise correlated producing tens of thousands correlations for tens of thousands of frequency channels simultaneously. For a system like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) this produces a data deluge of 1 TByte/s. This data may be affected by man-made radio frequency interference (RFI), instrumental failures and other effects that make the data unsuitable for scientific analysis.
